How To Clean A Bong

Bongs and other cannabis accessories can have a longer shelf life if they are cleaned properly and maintained on a regular basis. Join us as we explore the best practices for cleaning your glass accessories

Cleaning and upkeep are essential for keeping cannabis accessories in excellent working order—and for safeguarding your health. The fundamentals of how to clean a bong are outlined here.

What exactly is a bong?

A bong is a sort of water pipe that is used to smoke dried cannabis flower. It generally has four parts: a bowl, a downstem, a base, and a tube. Bongs can be constructed of glass, acrylic, wood, metal, silicone, and other materials and come in a variety of forms and sizes.


Why is it necessary to clean it?

The most basic reason is to safeguard your health: bacteria and mould may grow within the device, increasing your risk of contracting a lung infection; and any leftovers covering the bong will alter the flavour of the cannabis. Cleaning it on a regular basis, much like your house, is easier than scraping away built-up filth.

I’m not sure how often I should clean it?

There’s no hard and fast rule for how often you should wash your bong, but if you use it frequently, it’s a good idea to do it every two days or so. If you only use the bong occasionally, clean it after each use to prevent bacteria from growing.

What Tools do I require?

Cannabis oils cannot be removed with only water, they must be dissolved in a solution. Basic rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol, also known as isopropanol) is the cheapest choice, and it can be mixed with an abrasive substance like rock salt or uncooked rice. Alternatively, a bubbly mixture of baking soda and vinegar might be used. Try specific soaking solutions, as well as wipes, brushes, and pipe cleaners, for harder tasks.

Steps on how to clean a bong:

If you are purchasing a cleaning solution, please follow the instructions listed on the solution*

  1. All moving parts, including the bowl and downstem, should be removed. Set away in a large, deep container.
  2. To make the base, combine the rubbing alcohol and salt (about 14 cup alcohol to 1 tbsp salt). If you have stoppers, place them in the holes in the base. Swirl the solution around the base until the dirt is gone.
  3. Wipe away any leftover filth with a soft cloth, then pour off the cleaning solution.
  4. Place separate parts in a container and repeat steps two and three to clean them, such as the bowl and downstem. To remove dirt from confined places, use cotton balls or swabs.
  5. Rinse the base and components under hot running water until there is no more alcohol odour. 
  6. Allow for complete drying before reassembling.

SUMMARY:

  • Cleaning cannabis accessories on a regular basis is far easier than washing away dirt.
  • Cleaning a bong may be done with common household materials like rubbing alcohol and rock salt, as well as cleaning packages that include wipes and brushes.

Never use a home cleaner on your lungs since the chemicals might be dangerous.
